OK!
Actually, I'd like to know also if a file is not well-formed. I use xmlParseFile that returns NULL in case of problem. But this does not necessarily mean that the document is not well-formed. I suppose that xmlParseFile returns also NULL when I/O problems and, perhaps, other problems. If there is an I/O problem or other, I'd like to report the problem to the user, but if the file is not well formed, another actions must be taken. How can I do that ?
What about xmlParseDoc ? Tha documentation says that it returns a resulting tree. And What happens if the in-memory document is not well formed ?Thanks for your help,

Christophe

Parse it! If it parses without error, it's well formed, and there isn't anysimpler way that doing the parse to check for well-formedness.
